Create your ebook, make it available on Amazon Kindle or give it away in exchange for an email address. Here are the six ChatGPT prompts you should use to create a game-changing ebook today.

Use ChatGPT to write an ebook: it prompts you to create your manuscript

Write the back cover

Sometimes you have to start from the beginning and sometimes from the end. When writing a book, start with the back cover. Why; Because when someone browses in a bookstore, the first thing they do is turn one over to read the back. The back cover contains a brief summary of who it’s for and why they should read it. Summarizes and convinces in one go. While no one will physically flip your ebook, this description will be on your Amazon listing and website page. Writing that first means the rest will fall into place. When ChatGPT gives you its first draft, keep prompting until you’re happy with the words.

“I’m an expert on [describe your area of expertise] and I have ideas for an ebook about it [describe your book ideas]. My target audience is [describe your target audience]. Based on this, can you help me create a compelling cover description for my ebook? This description should succinctly summarize the content of the book, appeal to my target audience, and clearly articulate why they should read it. The goal is to create a compelling and persuasive summary that captures the essence of the book and convinces potential readers of its value.”

Define the concept

Now you know what the book will do for the reader, you need a compelling idea. A great title and subtitle will mean the difference between your book being memorable and being forgotten. Between being proud to push it and being less bothered by who reads it. Borrow the intelligence of ChatGPT to create the subtly intelligent title you’ve been dying to bring to life. Ask for more options than you need and test them with members of your audience. Choose the one with the best shot at success

“Now that I have a clear description on the back cover for my ebook, I need a compelling title and subtitle. The title should be memorable, catchy and reflect the main message of the book. The subtitle should expand on it, providing more information about what the reader can expect.Can you create 7 options for both the title and subtitle?I plan to test these options with my target audience to make sure the final option resonates well and has the best potential for success.”

Create the structure

The title, subtitle and bold description are clear, now it’s time for the design. If you have ideas for elements of the book, include them in the prompt. Other than that, let ChatGPT suggest a structure for your book that makes perfect sense and leaves your reader with no questions. Copy the great nonfiction writers who have gone before you by dividing your book into clear, concise sections.

“I have decided on the title”[insert chosen title]”and subtitle”[insert chosen subtitle]for my ebook, which focuses on [briefly describe the main theme or purpose of the book]. I would like to include specific items such as [list any specific elements or focuses you want in the book]. Can you help create a structure for the book that includes an introduction, 5 main chapters and a concluding chapter? For each section, give it a catchy name and a brief description of its content. The structure should flow logically, ensuring that the book is comprehensive and leaves the reader with a clear understanding of the subject matter.’

Write each section

The mistake to make here is to tell ChatGPT to “write my book”. The right thing to do is to go section by section and build your copy from the information and stories you give in the conversation. Great chapters include stories, statistics and unforgettable information, many of which come only from you. For each section to be enjoyable and valuable to a reader, they need to learn something relevant to their situation and be compelled to keep reading. Edit the main sections using this prompt for each one at a time.

“For the section titled”[insert the catchy name of the section]”, my moral on the matter is [describe your ethos or perspective on this topic]. Before writing the section, please ask any clarifying questions about the specific statistics, data, or examples I want to include: [list any stats, data, or examples you plan to incorporate]. I will also share case studies and stories to illustrate my points: [describe relevant personal stories]. If necessary, ask for more details about these case studies and stories to ensure they are incorporated accurately and effectively. The goal is for this section to be informative, engage the reader with relevant knowledge and compelling narratives, and give them clear action points on what to do after reading the section.”

Roll hard

Your ebook has a purpose and the conclusion is where you make it clear. Your conclusion should be about your reader. What course of action do you want to inspire and motivate someone to take? What’s the best way for them to take what they’ve learned and see results? Be clear about their next steps, including how they can get in touch and work with you. Open with something they will resonate with, include a summary of the sections you covered and what they should take away from each, and end with a strong call to arms where you emphasize that you’re here, cheering them on and wishing them every success.

“Now that the main sections of my ebook are complete, I need to write a strong conclusion that reinforces its purpose. The conclusion should begin with an opening statement that resonates with my readers [mention any specific opening ideas]. It should include a brief summary of each of the main sections, highlighting key points from each. Finally, conclude with a strong call to action, inspiring readers to take specific steps based on what they’ve learned. Also, please include how they can contact me for further engagement or assistance. The goal is for the conclusion to be reader-focused, giving them clear next steps and emphasizing my support and encouragement for their success.”

Go back to the beginning

We started at the end, now we end at the beginning. Use this prompt to write your ebook introduction, based on everything ChatGPT has created so far. Once you have it, you can copy and paste each section into a new Word document and get a second opinion on your manuscript. The introduction is probably the most important part. It sets the scene, sells the rest of the book, and gets someone hyped for the journey he’s about to embark on. Don’t get this section wrong.

“Now I need to write an introduction for my ebook. The introduction should start with a strong, attention-grabbing opening. Then it should introduce the pain points or challenges the reader faces. Then paint a picture of a better future they can achieve by reading this book and briefly describe the key learnings they can expect.Include a rewrite of my CV explaining why I am an expert on this subject: [enter your bio here]. End the introduction with a compelling reason for the reader to commit to reading the entire book.”

Make the graphics

Every element of your book is ready to be put together and tested. Next is for graphics. If you’re using paid ChatGPT, you can enter this prompt right away and request the cover and interior images. Determine your dimensions, share your brand colors, and get ChatGPT’s ideas for your cover. Request until you get a file ready for publication or share it with a graphic designer to create the final version. You’ll be ready to start selling in no time.

“I have completed all the elements of my ebook and now I am ready to create the graphics, including the cover and interior illustrations. The dimensions for the cover are [specify dimensions]and my brand colors are [mention your brand colors]. I am looking for a design that [describe any specific design ideas or themes you have in mind]. Create initial graphic designs for the cover and [number required] key illustrations within the book. Please be open to making changes based on my feedback, as I want to ensure that the final draft is perfectly aligned with my vision and the content of the book. The goal is to have a visually appealing and professionally designed ebook ready for publication.”
